Nothing says to the world that "spring has sprung" quite like a beautiful flower in bloom. And there's plenty of amazing ways to view, pick and enjoy flowers in New York. With that in mind, we made a list of five of our favorite destinations for a spring flower road trip in New York State. Check it out, below.

1. Waterdrinker Family Farm & Garden: Manorville

More than just a farm and garden, tourists who make the stop at the Waterdrinker Family Farm & Garden have the ability to play miniature golf and lawn games, check out some barnyard animals, or even take part in an obstacle course. Don’t miss their Tulip Festival, which takes place between April 12th and May 10th this year.

The next stop on this magical flower journey is East Durham Farms, a family-friendly farm environment that is full of vegetable gardens, blueberry bushes, and plenty of beautiful fresh-cut flowers. It’s a delightful small town farm experience.

We can’t think of a better place to end your trip than North Star Orchard. The family-run farm market and bakery provides great pick your own options, a greenhouse, and amazing gift baskets. Be sure not to leave without purchasing a few items from their delicious on-site bakery.
